[hibernate-dev] CGLIB

[Strong Liu]

these are the issues Steve mentioned below:

http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4703
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPAPP-2971

to be fair, these issues can be workaround, and we already have patches, users who run into these issues can pick up our patch for cglib and rebuild it themselves.
